Here we at long last remove the `make`-based build system, it having
been replaced with the Shake-based Hadrian build system. Users are
encouraged to refer to the documentation in `hadrian/doc` and this [1]
blog post for details on using Hadrian.

Closes #17527.

This moves all URL references to Trac Wiki to their corresponding
GitLab counterparts.

This substitution is classified as follows:

1. Automated substitution using sed with Ben's mapping rule [1]
    Old: ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/XxxYyy...
    New: gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/xxx-yyy...

2. Manual substitution for URLs containing `#` index
    Old: ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/XxxYyy...#Zzz
    New: gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/xxx-yyy...#zzz

3. Manual substitution for strings starting with `Commentary`
    Old: Commentary/XxxYyy...
    New: commentary/xxx-yyy...

Rather than using the non-standard/idiomatic `--with-{gcc,clang}=...`
scheme use the `CC=...` style scheme.

The basic idea is to have Autoconf's CC/CFLAG/CPPFLAG apply to
stage{1,2,3}, while having a separate _STAGE0 set of env-vars
denote the bootstrap-toolchain flags/programs.

This should be simpler, less confusing, and somewhat more in line with
Autoconf's idioms (allowing us to reuse more of Autoconf rather than
(re)inventing our own confusing non-standard m4 macros to do stuff that
Autoconf could almost do already for us)

Morever, expose CC_STAGE0 as a so-called "precious" variable.

So now we can better control which bootstrapping gcc is used
(by default the one used by the stage0 ghc, unless CC_STAGE0 is
overriden)

```
Some influential environment variables:
  CC_STAGE0   C compiler command (bootstrap)
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  ...

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to
help it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
```

Test Plan: I've tested that cross-compiling with
`--target=powerpc-linux-gnu` still works, and tried a few variants of
settting `CC=` and `CC_STAGE0=`; `./validate` passed as well

By default, bzip2 compression is selected (which is what has been used
till now). Additionally, by setting the TAR_COMP make variable to one of
the values "bzip2", "gzip", or "xz", an explicit compression format can
be requested for the distribution tarballs. For instance, invoking

  make TAR_COMP=xz sdist-ghc

will result in a tarball `./sdistprep/ghc-7.9.20140226-src.tar.xz`

Rename package database flags in both GHC and ghc-pkg so that they are
consistent with Cabal nomenclature.

Add a version check to the build system so that the correct set of
package db flags are used when the bootstrapping GHC has version < 7.5.

On Windows, -executable is matching the html docs.

They should use the GHC from the build tree, not the bootstrapping compiler.

The location isn't baked into the bindist, as it may differ from
machine to machine.

Also add support for testing the bindistprep tarball, for when we are
validating.

We now also test runghc and unlit

Also fixes it so that it really does pass (we weren't substituting the
GMP variables in the RTS package config).

configure looks for install-sh in . .. ../.. and we don't want it to
find the build system's install-sh.

On Windows, we end up doing something like
    rsync c:/build/ghc-6.10.1-unknown-mingw32.tar.bz2 haskell.org:dist
and it thinks that it is meant to get the file from the host called "c".
Now we just do
    rsync ghc-6.10.1-unknown-mingw32.tar.bz2 haskell.org:dist
so rsync understand what we mean.

Otherwise it thinks that c:/foo is a remote file

After
    make binary-dist stage=2
you can run make in bindisttest/ to test it
